Once On This Island - Some Say lyrics

ALL STORYTELLERS Some say... STORYTELLER How Ti Moune began the long journey Toward the city! ALL Some say: STORYTELLER Some say her feet were bare And the road was long and cruel ALL Some say: STORYTELLER Some say she got a ride From a vendor and his mule ALL Some say: STORYTELLER The gods pulled up in a car And drove her all the way ALL Well, no one knows How the real truth goes But that's what some say! Some say! LITTLE GIRL And how far did she travel? STORYTELLERS As far as you suppose LITTLE GIRL And how long did it take her? STORYTELLERS Much longer than your nose! LITTLE GIRL And was she ever frightened Or was her love too strong? And did she know she'd end up In our story and our song? ALL Our story and out song... ALL Some say: STORYTELLER What happened when Ti Moune finally Reached the city! ALL Some say: TWO STORYTELLERS Some say they laughed at her For her peasant feet were bare ALL Some say: TWO STORYTELLERS Some say the vendor man Gave her shoes too small to wear ALL Some say: STORYTELLER The gods said put on the shoes! It's a price you have to pay! ALL The shoes were tight But she said LITTLE GIRL All right! ALL Well, that's what some say! Some say! STORYTELLER At last Ti Moune arrived at the gates of the Hotel Beauxhomme GUARD Stop! STORYTELLER But the gods looked down. The gates swung Open. And Ti Moune went in search of her Daniel ALL Some say... WOMAN Some say she Scrubbed the Floors Till she learned Where he was Kept Some say... MAN Some say she Climbed a vine To the window Where he slept WOMAN Some say... WOMAN, MAN The gods just Lifted her up And placed her Where he lay ALL Well, no one Knows how the Real truth goes It all depends What you hear From friends It's no surprise It it's all Just lies But that's what Some say That's what Some say That's what Some say... That's what Some say... TI MOUNE The gods sent me to make you well DANIEL You're very young TI MOUNE I can all this way to be with you Let me stay
